Wouldnt do any harm i guess. Only thing is i believe that they are not road legal?
May be wrong but I'm sure a few people have been pulled up for them.
good point mate .. i never thort of that .. i might just stick to regular side lights in that case .. how much do u think it will cost
As far as I am aware yes. Are you planning on changing them yourelf?
From what I remember it is a bumper off job to get in to them, as you need to remove the headlight itself.
I was under the impression they're legal? Not sure really!
Was just thinking it might look a bit strange, having bright white sidelights and yellow-ish dipped beams?
yeah doing it myself, i only need to change both side light bulbs though... i thought you caould just access them from behind the light casing itself?

I've seen people at our local cruise be stopped for them, apparently sidelights have to be a 'filament type bulb' so if the coppers in a bad mood yes they are illegal i'm afraid lol
I see i see...
I was just gonna replace them whilst I have the bumper and headlights off one day next week... looks like standards it is.
Thanks

how long does it take to get the bumper off?
You can access the dipped/full beam without removal but im pretty sure that the sidelight is in a real awkward position, making access to change bulbs extremely difficult.
May be different on the lower models, but i recall a friend with a 1.2 saying he had to remove the light.

My first time took me about 15-20mins... theres a guide on the forge website here:

Though one thing I found was the guide says to remove 8 screws underneath... when in reality there's only 6 i believe! I spent ages looking for 2 non-existant screws :/
I just wanted to get new sidelights fitted whilst everything was off, as knowing my luck a sidelight will blow the next day lol.

As for removing the bumper, it depends on if you know what your doing.
Can have it off in around 5 minutes if your clued up.
